British historians James Holland and writer and comedian Al have made their way to the legendary Omaha Beach, the most famous of all D-Day landing zones, to dive deep into this crucial stretch of the Normandy coast that holds such significance in the outcome of World War 2. Their historical walkthrough kicks off at WN60, the Westernmost German stronghold, where remnants of bunkers and trenches still stand today, serving as a haunting reminder of the fierce battles that took place here. They discuss the strength of the German defences above Fox Green and Easy Red sectors, where the US 1st Infantry Division came ashore under devastating fire. They imagine what the tension and fear must have been like for the under-trained German soldiers perched on the headlands as they witnessed the US forces assaulting the beach on the morning of June 6th, 1944.
